Jeff Lima - come on down!

Leaves Mateo, Lawrence, Nathan Green as the depth players when injury hits.

Not too bad and certainly an improvement on last year!

Mate... it's like comparing grade school T-ball to the New York Yankees.... the 2015 pack was just some tepid off-brand generic cola.... the 2016 pack is classic Coke....


The forwards overhaul Manly have been able to accomplish over the last few months has been very imrpessive

 

[roostersrule2]

Yeah that's what I'd go with. I'm not sure where Nikorima fits in but it'll be rare when everyone is fit so he'll get plenty of game time.

It's still an amazing forward pack. I expect Napa to progress to Origin in 2016 and Evans is a chance too as he's a unique talent - a much more damaging prospect than the likes of Merrin off the bench if Daley has any balls to mix things up.

Now all we need is a fullback :crazy:

If Guerra has another year like this year I'd put Maubs to the backrow and put Nikorima in as the bench utility. Wouldn't be nice to have $500k or so on the sidelines but he was pretty much useless this year.

I'd argue Aubusson is the better player anyway but Guerra offers nothing off the bench whilst Aubbo does.

Mate... it's like comparing grade school T-ball to the New York Yankees.... the 2015 pack was just some tepid off-brand generic cola.... the 2016 pack is classic Coke....

You're goddamn right.

Haven't you got an appointment at the meffadone clinic to attend to?

Change the topic straight away as usual.

Start making that spoon!!!

 

[The Pip]

1 hand on a spoon.

Yep you've got it covered.

Well said! A Souths fan would be an expert on wooden spoons...plenty in the cabinet at Redfern:lol:

That is a seriously good pack and bench. Now maybe add Walker and Bird/Whare to the mix...serious contenders.

 

[Rabbit toes]

George can play 50-55mins I reckon.

Grevsmuhl could play 55mins.

Tom 50mins.

No way could either Grevsmuhl or Tom play 50 mins +. Tom would be lucky to crack 35 and Grevs could hit 40

 

[Vic Mackey]

1 hand on a spoon.

Yep you've got it covered.

Maybe, we'll still beat you in one of our games though.

8. Ah Mau

10. Cooper
11. Thompson
12. Frizell
13. Creagh

14. Packer
15. de Belin
16. Masoe
17. Garvey

Now we've jettisoned that hack Merrin and replaced him with a couple of actually good players in Masoe and Packer, we're looking pretty sweet.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Mose Masoe is shit.

You'll understand this in due time.

 

[JJ]

Surely with our giant pack of super athletes playing jungle ball the Warriors deserve a mention? :-k

They'll be really tired after 25 mins though.

 

[Johnnie Red]

Kasiano won't be in the second row

You're right...not sure what I was thinking.

Kasiano could play lock and put Eastwood in the 2nd Row or he will stay on the bench for either T-Rex or Lane.
